In type 2 diabetes, cells in your body stop responding to insulin, a hormone that tells them to admit glucose (blood sugar). The glucose stays in your blood instead, and blood glucose levels start to climb. High levels of blood sugar can injure many parts of your body—but early diagnosis and proper…

Check out our CEO and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Tsiaras’ TED Weekend feature on The Huffington Post!

Alexander reveals what first motivated him to create his book Conception to Birth (now reimagined as an interactive iBook): the beauty and mystery of the transformation of a single cell to a baby. But new revelations about the damage a pregnant mother’s diet can inflict on her unborn child has led Alexander to the realization that life in the womb is far from safe.

Newborn babies see things best when they’re about a foot away—the distance of the mother’s face when she holds the baby in her arms. That’s not a coincidence! Faces are like windows, and through them come the love and attention directed at the baby. By 4 months a baby can differentiate shapes and se...
